So I lost my best friend to secondary breast cancer on the 19th January and we bury her tomorrow, the grief is horrendous. She was more like a sister. Her son and my daughter are born 12 minutes apart in different hospitals and we met while they were both in NICU.
I was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma in 2021 and given 9 months to live, but fate gave me a reprieve when surgery removed all of my cancer. In 2023 she was diagnosed with Breast cancer, chemo/radio multiple times and a mastectomy she rang the bell . 6 months ago secondary breast cancer in the liver was diagnosed and despite being told she had 4-5 years, she sadly lost her battle in January. I'm devastated. Struggling how to cope with the loss... How to move on.. so many questions on why... Just need to rant. Sorry.
